SARAH & ERIC'S WEDDING by Shelly Perkins Photography

Smiling Horses .... Things which make me SMILE Shelly Perkins Photography of Oklahoma

God's Beauty
Things which make me SMILE..... Smiling Horses

Our family lived on a farm for a short time when I was growing up and we had four horses. I loved running out into the fields with them or just sitting in the grass and watching for hours. I loved these creatures and their beauty. I still love horses and hopefully, someday will have a small amount of land where I can again keep a horse. I do however, have an English Mastiff who is almost the size of a horse, but not quite. LOL

Recently, I was blessed to photograph a few horses on a ranch. This guy was great. He actually got out and played in a mud puddle while I was there. I don't know if he was showing off for me but while he was covered in mud, he sported the biggest smile, which I captured here. I hope you enjoy this image as much as I do. It serves as a memory to me that we are the keepers of God's creatures. He made them to keep us company here on Earth.

Enjoy, Shelly

JUST FIVE DAYS OLD, Oklahoma Newborn Baby Photographer Shelly Perkins Photography

Here is adorable Baby Merrick. She is just an adorable little thing and I was able to shoot her first baby portraits at five days old. Here are a couple of the sneak peek shots from her shoot. Enjoy.

EXPECTING BABY BELLY SHOTS from Shelly Perkins Photography

Before the tornadoes started to roll in on Monday evening, I was able to meet a wonderful mother and mother-to-be in Mustang, Oklahoma. Deidra is having her third and last child. She wanted some special shots with her husband and her belly to document this moment that will never come again. She chose Shelly Perkins Photography to create these special motherhood images just for her. I'm proud to help them record this special moment for their family.

NEWBORN BABY PORTRAITS by Shelly Perkins Photography of Oklahoma

I'm doing a whole series of newborn portraits with eggs and little nests. The best baby portraiture is made when a newborn is under ten days old. They're still new and squishy. They are easily bended and molded and they don't mind a bit. If you're interested in my making your newborn baby's photograph, call me at 405.229.2671 or send me an email at perkphotography@aol.com. Let's make something for your family to cherish for years to come.

SMEYAK WEDDING by Shelly Perkins Photography of Oklahoma

Forever Photography by Shelly Perkins














I shoot a Very LIMITED number of weddings per year. For many years, I shot weddings every weekend and I no longer do that.
The weddings that I do shoot, I try to capture moments that will be special to the couple because these are their forever photography images which will be passed down for generations.

Krissy & Steven were married in Oklahoma City. Krissy is a teacher and lives in North Carolina while Steven resides in Ohio. They chose to get married in Oklahoma where Krissy grew up and had a beautiful intimate ceremony. I was very blessed to be part of their special day.

Share Life! Love This!

I love this! It was created last year at the Liverpool St Station for TMobile. Just fun.

SARAH & ERIC'S BRIDAL PORTRAITS- Forever Wedding Photography by Shelly Perkins Photography

Forever Photography by Shelly Perkins

I shoot a Very LIMITED number of weddings per year. For many years, I shot weddings every weekend and I no longer do that.

The weddings that I do shoot, I try to capture moments that will be special to the couple because these are their forever photography images which will be passed down for generations.

These photos are of Sara Phillips and Eric Butts. Most were taken at his grandparents house and stable house (which is so cool, by the way). I had so much fun making the photo with the bride chasing after the groom with a rolling pin. I'm glad that were game for my crazy idea. This is a fantastic couple whom I look forward to making many more portraits of as well as their own babies some day.

I NEED THIS! A Remote Controlled Mower!

Okay, I know there are Wants and there are Needs. I'm thinking this could be moved over to my NEED list. I would have my kids fighting over who is going to mow the yard. With a Remote Controlled Mower, who could go wrong. LOL! Another invention, why didn't I think of it??

True Meaning of Easter

Please take time out this weekend to remember what Easter is all about. It's not about Chocolate, Bunny Rabbits or Eggs. It's about Christ being born and dying on the cross for our sins and to be resurrected upon the third day, so that you and I may have eternal life. Stop during your busy day and remember Jesus and the true meaning of Easter. Happy Good Friday.

SLEEPY COWBOY JACK ~ Newborn Baby Photography by Shelly Perkins Photography

Only 11 days old........



I LOVED taking Little Baby Jack Jack's first photos. He is so adorable and even gave me a few smiles. He's already an OSU Cowboy wearing his orange and of course he needed a cowboy hat. His whole little body fit inside the hat. He's so tiny, only five pounds. I loved being able to put him in the baseball glove. Whoops....little tinkle in the glove. Oh well, maybe it will help condition it. LOL

Little Nick's Family Portrait in the Family Garden

I had a great session with Crystal and her family this afternoon. The weather cooperated and it turned out beautifully. Little brother Nick was pretty sweet as he picked daffodils to give to his mother from her own garden. LOL How could you get upset with that?

R&R in Hawaii !

Had a great time in Kaua'i! My husband and I were able to visit some beautiful places and enjoy some R&R. We were celebrating his final round of chemotheraphy. We had previously traveled to three of the Hawaiian islands, but never to Kauai. However this trip was different from our "Let's see how much stuff we can cram into our vacation!" trips of the past. There was no agenda allowed on this trip. We spent all of our time relaxing and celebrating life. God is good.

Art in Ardmore

I was able to make a stop in Ardmore and check out some of the local artists and photographers. I took a few photos and included the beautiful sky. Looks can be deceiving....it was soooo cold! That darn Oklahoma wind was sure blowing. Here's one of my favorite exhibits in front of the Goddard Center Art Studio located on First SW in Ardmore, Oklahoma.
